Lexy is now at the 6 month milestone! We had another visit to the doctor and yes....the dreaded shots again! :( My poor baby girl. She had to get 5 this time (including the liquid one) and she was so brave for the first two, but the second two made her cry so hard that it was a deep belly cry that Robert and I have never heard before! It actually sounded like a laugh, but with a red face and tears. Other than the shots the visit was wonderful. Her doctor says "she is very strong" and "such a happy baby" YAY! :) He also said we can start giving her a variety of solid foods now....look out diapers!
I can't believe how fast she is changing and I am amazed everyday by a different facial expression, sound or movement she can do! She is so happy and fun, we are so lucky to have her. I can't wait to come home from work and see her realize that I am home and give me the biggest smile in the world! She is so cute how she seriously watches everything around her and studies really hard, like she is trying to figure out what is happening and why....I can't imagine what is going through her little brain at this point.
She loves standing up (with help) and grabbing at things, especially Toretto! She will grab handfulls of his hair and rip them out and he just lets her (with a wince of pain and a quick glance back to make sure it is just Lexy). The cats are even starting to notice her and sit by her...just out of her reach...she can't wait to be able to move on her own so she can chase after them! She grunts at them with excitement everytime she spots one and reaches out to grab it!...should be interesting if she actually catches one...
Oh did I mention that she learned how to whine like Toretto? She does this daffy duck sounding "wooh, wooh, woo-ooh, wooh" that we didn't understand at first where she learned it...and then we realized it sounded familiar...like exactly like Toretto's whimpering! Too funny!
Other things she has picked up are learning how to give kisses! I've been kissing her since the day she was born and finally she is starting to try to give kisses back! Of course they are open mouthed and very wet, but they are so cute and wonderful to get! :)
She loves fake coughing and she will fake cough at you and smile and wait to see what you do...and when you cough at her, she smiles and laughs and then will do it again. It's also hilarious to her when you fake sneeze! A simple ah-choo will make her laugh. Oh and speaking of laughs! Her laughs are the best, most wonderful sound you have ever heard and they make you smile so hard and even laugh yourself! I can't describe the emotion that goes through you when you hear your baby laugh a deep belly laugh!!! It's just amazing and makes you go crazy with love inside!

Jessica, first of all, you write beautifully. I just love reading your updates and you put so much love and emotion into your stories. How fortunate Lexy is to have these memories. Speaking of Lexy....what a cutie. Green and yellow are definitely her colors. I just want to squeeze her and get one of those wet kisses. Love, Great Aunt Mary
